Using High Quality Paper Stocks

Throughout the whole printing process we apply attention to detail and use of the best equipment. However, high quality litho printing still requires to be printed onto quality paper stocks using the very best materials. At Johnsons we are extremely discerning on what we use, we always use AGFA plates and the paper is always premium brand and FSC approved where possible. Unlike some print houses we don’t swap and change to save a few pounds, many don’t realise, the effect that this can have on colour, tone and feel of the final job.
